FOX Fires Reporters for Telling the Truth About Milk
Fox Fires Reporters for Telling the Truth About Milk
Source: http://www.mercola.com
In 1997, a pair of reporters prepared a report for a Fox TV affiliate in Florida about the dangers of
bovine growth hormone (BGH) in milk. Lawyers for Monsanto, a major advertiser with the network, sent
letters promising "dire consequences" if the story aired.
After attempts by Fox to bribe the reporters to keep quiet failed, the station agreed to air a revised
version of the report. An unheard of 83 edits later (including Monsanto insisting that the word "cancer"
be replaced with the phrase "human health implications"), the report was shelved and the courts took
over.
Although a lower court ruled in favor of the reporters for some $425,000, a Florida appeals court denied
them whistleblower protection, claiming Fox, and the media in general, have no obligation to tell the
truth, in effect, having the freedom to report what is fact and fiction as real news.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
This is another dramatic example of how powerfully some corporations control the media. You have
heard me rant and rave about the drug companies, but they are the fairy godmother compared to
Monsanto.
I simply don't know of any organization on the planet with more sinister plans to destroy the health of
your future. They are the central force behind genetically modified foods and have conspired to literally
own all future food by unconstitutionally patenting every seed they can get their hands on.
I posted a report two years ago that Monsanto was slowing down sales of its bovine growth hormone
(BGH), Posilac, which is put in much of the commercial milk sold in the United States.
That seems to have been a temporary measure for publicity, as Monsanto recently announced plans to
start producing the product themselves at a plant in Augusta, GA, instead of licensing another company
to do it, and they currently sell more than 33 million doses a year.
There could be no stronger proof than this story that the corporations do not care about your health,
but only their profits, and that their paid stooges in the media, the sciences, and the government are
only too happy to say whatever they are being given money to say. In the instances where people try to
take a stand, like the reporters in this case, they are silenced by their bosses.
There's a reason that the FDA, largely financed by their corporate "partners" these days, declared BGH
safe for humans after only a brief study on a few rats. The Canadian equivalent of the FDA came to
vastly different conclusions about BGH.
These factors, more than anything else, are the reason the reports you hear about what is healthy and
what is not are fatally skewed.
On the brighter side, however, there's been a strong push away from hormone-infested milk and toward
raw milk. I do not recommend drinking pasteurized milk, however, even if it doesn't contain hormones,
because pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures fragile milk proteins,
destroys vitamin B12, and vitamin B6, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens and is associated
with allergies, increased tooth decay, colic in infants, growth problems in children, osteoporosis, arthritis,
heart disease and cancer.
Raw milk, on the other hand, is one of the finest natural sources of calcium available. To find a raw milk
source near you, visit the Real Milk Web site.
By the way, the video in the story above is from The Corporation. If you want to have a great video for
your library I would recommend picking up a copy. I bought mine on Amazon.
